Teacher slept with 3 pupils

A TEACHER who dubbed himself the “Salford Stallion” as he slept with three of his high school pupils has been jailed for six years.

Christopher Drake, 29, committed a “classic breach of trust” in having sex with the girls he taught at a school in Atherton, Greater Manchester.

Sentencing, Judge Timothy Mort told Drake he received his “comeuppance in spectacular fashion” when two of the girls discovered he was two-timing them, which led to his arrest.

It emerged that Drake had been having sex with both his students since they were aged 14 and had also slept with a 16-year-old girl he taught at Hesketh Fletcher Church of England High School.

Drake, of Monton, Salford, was initially employed as a PE teacher before he was promoted to temporary assistant headteacher in June 2009.
